STEPHEN NOAH DAWKINS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 178th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1331874
ORDER
Appellant is represented by appointed counsel, Randall J. Ayers. Appellant's brief was originally due September 7, 2015. We have granted a total of 90 days to file appellant's brief until December 23, 2015. On December 28, 2015, counsel filed a fourth request for extension of time to file appellant's brief. We deny the request for extension and issue the following order.
We order Randall J. Ayers to file a brief with the clerk of this court on or before January 22, 2015. If counsel does not timely file appellant's brief as ordered, the court will issue an order abating the appeal and directing the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine the reason for the failure to file the brief and the consideration of sanctions, appointment of new counsel, or other appropriate relief.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jamison, Donovan and Brown.
